At least there is acknowledgment that vaccines don’t keep you from getting infected. I’d look at this as a win.

So far every person who has tested positive for the omega virus has been jabbed in full. But still the only answer to defeating the epidemic is to get jabbed. Over and over again. Israel is boosting for the 5th wave. And still case numbers are going up. As are the all case deaths from some unknown reasons. Great video that I hope people watch.

Viral concentration was measured using the cycle threshold (Ct) according to the Roche cobas target 1 assay. Ct values were converted to viral genome equivalents using a standard curve (“Converting Ct values to viral genome equivalents”).

Here is a link to the Appendix.

Cycle threshold values are not a reliable metric for accurately determining viral load. This is a retrospective “Correspondence” report and does not appear to be peer reviewed at this point.

@ovals49 People who wouldn't know a PCR machine if it hit them on the side of the head are making judgements on the validity of Ct values. What's next? Insisting on the use of standard curve vs. limiting titration in an ELISA?

@studentofearth

leading virologists have determined that breakthrough infections in vaccinated players do not threaten their entourages for nearly as long a period as do the unvaxxed, thus helping to avoid “the likelihood of ‘superspreading’ events.”

So if you’re jabbed, but can spread it 2 days less than the unjabbed it avoids a super spreader event, but add 2 more days and it will cause one? It seems that it’s safe for people to go to restaurants and wear masks while walking to your table and only taking them off for eating and drinking which the virus knows you’re doing and it doesn’t infect you until you finish. It obeys curfews too somehow since there is a 6 pm curfew at bars for the unjabbed over the pond. I guess if you are unjabbed and break curfew your chances of getting infected then go up to 100% after whatever time is set for it. Unjabbed can’t be at indoor events if there are more than 5,000 people and then there’s Biden’s mandates for businesses that have 100 employees, but if they only have 99 or less people don’t have to get jabbed because the virus can count and won’t infect people working there. Yeppers this is one smart virus that picks and chooses to infect people or not depending on numbers that leaders set. Brilliant!

I just read that one company over the pond had a Xmas party where everyone had to be jabbed to attend and it turned into a super spreader event.. Airlines insist that people are either jabbed or tested negative before they can fly. Kim Iverson did a show on the plane from SA wasn’t allowed to unload until everyone was tested. 10% of the 600 passengers tested positive for the new variant. I wonder if that will turn into a super spreader event? This is why mandates to get jabbed are not going to stop the epidemic.

Revealed: The Secret Covid Outbreak That Shot Fear Through the NBA Finals

17 sources describe to Rolling Stone a coronavirus crisis pushing pro basketball to the brink: Upwards of a dozen people associated with the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns tested positive — and a superstar “dodged a bullet”

Did not find any link to Would like to see data collection methods and retrospective analysis by medical researchers. The links I viewed were to other Rolling Stone Articles, The Atlantic, ESPN, Haper Collins, GQ Sports, NBA website, The Undefeated, Sportico, Yahoo and SI.com.

Indicates The New England Journal of Medicine has a draft of a paper.

The New England Journal of Medicine is preparing to publish a major paper based on what one of its authors hails as “progressive and proactive” NBA testing from the 2020-21 season. According to a confidential draft version obtained by Rolling Stone, leading virologists have determined that breakthrough infections in vaccinated players do not threaten their entourages for nearly as long a period as do the unvaxxed, thus helping to avoid “the likelihood of ‘superspreading’ events.”

Oh, found this letter when looking for the article referenced in the second point of the diary. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dec 1, stipulates some of the data and conclusions limitations. Does not appear to be peer reviewed at this time.

Viral Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Persons

Our ability to detect differences in SARS-CoV-2 viral dynamics was limited by the high degree of interpersonal variation among our study participants, as well as the small sample size, which also prevented us from subcategorizing the population further according to variant and vaccination status. The participants in this study were predominantly healthy young men and thus were not representative of the general population. Symptoms were not systematically tracked, nor did we test for the presence of infectious virus.

On the second point I would need the actual article title (ideally the link)to provide feedback.

@Lookout when you posted it this past Sunday. It was impressive and somewhat heartening.

I meant to say the Minister of the department of Health in Austria stated that the covid vaccine was the best-studied drug ever. This we know to be false because the studies were suspended early and the vaccines were approved based on safety data that was generated in trials that lasted less than 3.5 months.

I have a fondness for Austria as I spent almost 8 years of my childhood there. I've been following what is happening, and find it very sad. Austria is the first European country to impose the mandates. It is not a good look. I hope it is not a portent of things to come and other governments in Europe respond to the concerns of the citizens.

I thought it was good. Austria and Australia have both gone off the rails.

[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-vZR35yzlQ]

Protests erupted all over Europe and in Australia over the prospect of renewed lockdowns, vaccinating children and other Covid measures. They’re fed up. I am fed up. You are fed up.

The main problem? None of the measures have actually worked so far and are an incoherent mess. Instead of rethinking strategies and being more thoughtful in communicating the necessity and goals of the new approaches, many governments have instead become more dictatorial and authoritarian. This is creating even more friction within and among the citizenry.

To avoid being a ‘rat in a cage’ your first step toward freedom rests in understand who is delivering the shocks and why.

@fire with fire
is far, far less if they actually knew how many, especially the younger, have contracted the disease and had minimal symptoms or were asymptotic?

The thing that is extremely problematic is that Fauci and the NIH refuse to recognize natural or acquired immunity when insisting on vaccinations. Unfortunately, there has been data that shows these vaccines may actually impair the efficacy of this natural immunity.

The only thing that warrants the 100% vaccination rate from 5 years old and up is that it will destroy the placebo group that could prove the vaccines are actually more dangerous and harmful than the disease itself - especially in the future as this plays out.

I intend to be part of the placebo study!

I have been coming to believe that this pandemic was planned and is been manipulated to accomplish that end game. Event 202 shows how it WAS planned because the ONLY thing they discussed was how to get control the mass of people and get everyone vaccinated. Fortunately for us, TBTB could not get the entire world on board and information has been getting out despite attempts by media and internet giants like Twitter and Google to suppress information.

.

I started out a skeptic, but not a revolutionary or even willing to oppose the restrictions throughout all of 2020. It made little sense, but not zero sense -- here are the things that bothered me about the first several months of the effort to fight the virus:

1. The "lockdowns" really weren't lockdowns -- with well over half the population not restricted from work and therefore not restricted from spreading the virus. Obviously, putting everybody under zero contact would cause starvation, and there is no chance that it could be enforced in any event. So what the hell was the point of a Half Lock Down?

To flatten the curve. Give me a frickin break.

.

2. The reported numbers of deaths never jived with the alleged urgency coming from the top down. Even now, the worst hit country on the planet, Peru, has recorded Covid deaths for less than six tenths of one percent of the population. As of the first of August 2020, the US official death toll reached 160,000 --about 0.05% of the population. I could see no reason why that called for the massive disruption of everybody's lives.
.

3. The authorities never tried to make any sense out of their policies and mainly attacked critics for being either Trumpers, lunatics or both. These constant attacks, continuing to this day, are the surest sign of corruption defending itself.
.

Even so, I still did not seriously think that it was all a scam from the start. I am still unwilling to claim it is -- but that makes more sense than any other explanation for the Non-Sequitur Logic driving the Vaccine Only and Mandated Vaccine policies.

If you have a good argument, make it. Simple enough, Authorites. If you don't have any argument, all you have to do is lie. And if that does not work, just don't worry about what average people think. Put them in a concentration camp if they don't care to follow the Dictates of "Science."

.

Since the summer of 2020, the reported fatality total for the USA has increased five-fold, but still is well below one half of one percent of the population. By the way, the scorecard as of today shows that out of 40 million "cases", the death rate remains at 2% -- without even considering the way the reporting system inflates the fatality numbers.

So far, in the USA, you have had a one in eight chance of becoming a "case" -- whatever that means. Among that 12% who have been designated a case, you have had a 98% chance of surviving. Overall, 99.75 percent of the population is not dead from Covid.

.

It reminds of a Gary Larson cartoon showing a dentist hovering over a patient with a bunch of scientific looking objects stuck in his mouth. His eyes show befuddlement. The dentist then says, "And now, just to prove we can do it, I am going to stuff this tennis ball into your mouth."

Crazy is too mild a word for all this totalitarian bullshit.

@fire with fire

but then putting infected people in their care centers? And when more and more grandmas started getting sick they didn’t stop doing it. In fact so many in NYC were dying Cuomo instructed his staff to hide the numbers. Trump sent NY the hospital ship for overflow but instead he did what he did. Then he gave the nursing home CEOs immunity for not keeping grandma safe.

As to who was essential workers it depended how much money companies were losing. More and more started petitioning the government and woala they got exceptions. But did OSHA crack down on them for not providing PPE? Nope they did not. And now it’s telling businesses that they don’t have to report vaccine injuries. They don’t want to create fear of them. No matter that doctors are legally bound to report them, if they don’t have time to do it that’s okay.
